Could you build this?
No Implementing zero-socket file shielding anchored in the Apple Silicon Secure Enclave requires specialized macOS kernel extensions, Endpoint Security framework, and low-level cryptography.
What it would actually take: The architecture necessitates a macOS system extension leveraging Apple's Endpoint Security (ES) framework and the CryptoTokenKit/Secure Enclave processor (SEP) APIs. The core challenge is intercepting filesystem I/O in real time, securely managing cryptographic keys within the SEP without exposing decrypted contents to unauthorized user-space daemons, and adhering strictly to Apple's kernel-level signing and notarization mandates.
